tahnik387587y@Dacexi I normally use a VPN. But I just needed a Ubuntu ISO so I used torrent for that without VPN. Idiots are throttling it 😔
-
@tahnik This is the reason (although they don't throttle anything yet, luckily highly against the law here) that I literally ALWAYS use vpn! Even on my phone :)
-
@sam9669 I use an OpenVPN android app and run a vpn server on one of my vps's haha!
-
@robzombie111 @linuxxx ohh I thought it was responsible by your network carrier, well, thanks for the tip, looking into apps right now
-
Excuse my ignorance, but why do you even need to download / host an Ubuntu torrent? Is there some advantage over just downloading it outright?
-
how do you know your being slowed down, it might've just been the speed of the seeders?
-
tahnik387587y@kvsjxd doesn't help unfortunately
@mclark1129 It's kind of supporting them by seeding for a while. Servers are expensive for them
@Kryptic0 Speed ramped to 15mbps and in the next second it came down to around 5. It's easy to understand. -
@tahnik that can happens somethings with torrents its peer to peer you cant always rely on the computers maintainting a certain speed.
-
@mclark1129 on shitry/slow connections large .iso downloads have a chance to commit suicide, whereas with torrent you can resume the download without losing progress
-
@tahnik ++ for helping keep the server costs lower where you can.
I've torrented distros before because they sometimes just can't keep the infrastructure up.
